random boot issue with HDDs
Hi all,
I have a random issue that is easy replicated.
When I boot the PC from power-off state 2 of my hard drives are missing from Windows.
If I reboot the PC (not powering off, just rebooting) they show up when I log in.
If I shutdown and then start up again straight away the drives are missing again.
Drives show up in BIOS correctly.
When I go into disk manager with the drives missing I cant see them in disk manager.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte UD5H-Black
The two drives are connected to PS & PM SATA ports.
I have done a DISKPART DETAIL and report is attached. Disk 5 & 6 are the two that arent showing up on fresh startup.
I am stumped here as I have no idea why they would be missing from bootup and fine with a reboot.
Any help appreciated.

as a note... it appears both trouble drives are connected to the Marvell controller.
I have checked drivers etc and they all appear to be newest installed.
Timings in BIOS are unavailable as an option.

PC was working fine. The only issue was a drive that kept coming up as predicted failure, which I replaced. then it worked fine for a few days and all of a sudden I noticed the drives missing on boot.
@noxcho
motherboard is less and 5 months old. I would be surprised to find the battery at fault.

giving you both points for helping but no real solution to the issue has been achieved. this issue still happens and all I can put it down to is a faulty controller on the board :(
